KULIAH TAMU : METODE KONSTRUKSI GEOTEKNIK GEOFORCE SEGMENTAL RETAINING WALL SEBAGAI ALTERNATIF STRUKTUR MECHANICALLY STABILIZED EARTH WALL DENGAN GEOSINTETIK
On this occasion Mr Dandung explained the general description of PT Geoforce Indonesia, the Vision and Mission and the values of PT Geoforce Indonesia. Geosynthetics are various types of synthetic polymer materials which are specifically fabricated for use in geotechnical engineering applications which function as separators, filtration, drainage, reinforcement, surface erosion control and so on. In several applications in the field, geosynthetic materials can simultaneously function two or even more of these functions. Mr Dandung explained what MSE Wall is, the Challenges of MSE Wall and the Design Concept of MSE Wall.
One of PT Geoforce Indonesia's superior products which is explained in this general lecture is Geoforce Segmental Retaining Wall, which is a retaining wall construction consisting of a layer of compacted embankment soil with a belt reinforcement system (GI - Strip). The facing of the GSRW walls is made of precast concrete which is cast with high accuracy. The sustainability point of GSRW is that GSRW is reinforced with GI-Strip which is a material produced with a lower carbon footprint than conventional retaining wall systems using sheet piles or L - Shape and the second sustainability point is because this material does not need to be imported, so it has a carbon footprint which is lower due to a more economical logistics process.
